Mega Man for the PC.

Copy from back of box:

Break the death-grip of the ultimate computer! As MegaMan, the robot wunderkind created to save the world, match your mettle against the mind of Dr. Wily, a megalomaniac with the hardware to match his ego!

Search Wily's mechano-botic complex, from its mind-bending maze of electrified corridors, through giant whirling turbines and into paralyzing force fields. You must find the three keys to the core room! Leap pools of supercharged gunk. Pulverize ion-sucking Batvires and other hideous Insectobots. Face a phalanx of slithering, seething cyborgs, all programmed to turn you into radioactive waste!

At last, confront Crorq, a megacomputer revved by the psychotic calculations of Wily's mad brain. Survive, and challenge the mastermind behind the superbrain, Dr. Wily himself!

Start with your own powerful Plasma Cannon. Then snatch the ultimate weapons of the master robots you defeat:

Blow Sonic Man to splinters and grab his steel-smashing Sonic Wave!
Sizzle Volt Man into a whining mass of wires and acquire his Force Field!
Demolish Dyna Man and gain his explosive Nuclear Detonator!

Description

It is up to the blue robot Megaman to stop the plot of Dr. Wily, the maverick lab assistant, by jumping and shooting his way past an army of robots. At the end of these levels are three of Dr. Wily's robot masters, Dyna Man, Sonic Man and Volt man who each drop a key when defeated. These keys are then used to gain access to the room where the megacomputer Crorq is being stored for a final showdown. As always, Megaman can absorb the weapon power of the robot masters and use it as his own.

Mega Man is a side-scrolling platform game. It differs greatly from the earlier console release, with only three bosses and not very many extras to find. Lesser robots can defeated and drop a variety of power-ups including an energy capsule for filling energy, a weapon capsule which restores the power of captured robot weapons, an extra life, a continue and an energy tank which will restore all of Megaman's energy once.

Imaged from 5.25″ diskette using a Mitsumi D509V3 floppy drive and a FC5025 USB floppy controller.

The file log is a log of the imaging process.

The zip file contains an additional dosbox.conf file that slows down the emulation.

This is only the 5.25″ floppy version. The game apparently also came out on 3.5″ diskette.
